Come on in through my screen door Tell me all your care I'm hear to lend my ears Where you been lately? Haven't seen much around here Been hiding out in shade your skins all turned to gray Did you eat today? When you coming home to stay Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean If you could see what I see You'd see a boy who can't face things, silent is all he is You been looking around without your vision Hearing things without listening, suffering but feeling no real kind of pain You know I like to help but when I let you ride for free You drag me down into the cheap cheap scene Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean You got this thing against living with the best But you sure like to visit me don't you When the streets get too cold, when you're feeling weary and old When your chances for survival are looking oh so slim When all of a sudden you won't live to be 80, maybe 90, maybe 110 Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean Don't you know I love you when you're down and dirty Don't you know I love you when you're clean Oh, I know everything ain't always what it seems to be Don't you know I love you baby Anyway I find you, anyway you come Anyway I find you, anyway you come Come on Come on Come on ...
